Richard Susskind - This Will Change Every Lawyer’s Career

AI is not just changing the tools lawyers use, it is redefining the foundations of the legal profession.


In this episode of Legal AI Lab, hosts Hidde Bruinsma and Martijn Doornbos speak with Professor Richard Susskind, the world’s leading voice on the future of law and technology.


Together they explore how artificial intelligence is transforming legal education, reshaping law firms, and expanding access to justice.

From short-term automation in law practice to long-term innovation that empowers non-lawyers, this conversation highlights the profound digital transformation underway in the legal system.


You will learn:


  • Why banning AI in law schools risks leaving future lawyers unprepared for digital legal practice
  • How young lawyers can adapt when AI automates routine legal work in law firms
  • The difference between task automation and innovation in legal technology
  • How AI can empower citizens to solve disputes and prevent legal problems without traditional lawyers
  • Why we must prepare now for artificial general intelligence (AGI) and its impact on justice systems
